Competently ATTENDS TO(:27)

Explanation:(:27)Watches

:27—“She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.”

The virtuous wife always “watches”(attends to) to her “household’s” “ways.” The choices & actions of her family are important to her. She is attentive to alleviation & mediation so that her family will prosper. She is proactive in her family’s direction. She is attentive to relating to her individual children’s needs.

Her children do not “raise themselves,” nor are they dependent upon ‘their village’ for guidance because they receive it at home.

Again she is no slacker(:15). Laziness(“Idleness”) is far from her door. She does not avail herself of or partake of that by which slackers/sluggards are sustained.
